Answer me this: Do you presuppose that all/many arms manufacturers in the US are fundies?
I think he presupposes that ones that put Biblical quotations on their guns are.  Seems fair to me.

I give up.

The circle is too round.

Since when has that style of notation been secret?  :huh:

I think it's a matter of location and context.

Not knowing any better, I'd certainly have assumed those numbers were a parts identifier or something of the sort.

Then how can you be unsurprised that this company which you've had no prior chance to form an opinion of, does a thing like this?

Are you just being obtuse in order to mess with me?

Honestly, I have no idea what's got your panties in a twist over this.

Sure, what they did was amusing in its lack of self-awareness (I mean, NT quotes on military hardware?), but as I've said, lack of self-awareness isn't all that surprising on the part of fundies. It is more or less their calling-card.

If a QB playing college football can get away with plastering this sort of thing across the bottom of his eyes so that the tv cameras have to pick up the reference, I am not really sure what the big deal is here. :P

Nevermind.

"Why would you be unsurprised about that?"

"Well, because it was blue, obviously. You saw it, didn't you? It was clearly blue. I was not surprised."

Pretty unprofessional.
Actually, they look like they were professionally done, quite neat.
The very idea of it I mean, not the way it was implimented.
It doesn't help make the sights better and they're being made for the army so it would seem to be logical to make them professional and clean.

Anyway, isn't this pretty blasphemous? I mean, a properly blessed gun should include a verse from the Liturgy of the Omnissiah.

What I failed to find surprising was the fact that the sort of person who would put NT quotes on military hardware would not reflect on the irony of doing this.

In short, it was a rhetorical device to highlight the fact that they did not so reflect, and should have.

Anyone can buy one of these.  The government has just decided these are also what they'll use and ordered a whole shitload of them to put them on the rifles they issue.
